Two Turkish police officers have been killed and 35 other people wounded in a massive car bomb attack carried out by militants of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in the country's southeastern town of Nusaybin amid a fresh offensive by the militant group that killed two soldiers in another town nearby. 

Two police officers have been killed while 35 people, including two civilians, have been wounded in an outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) car bomb attack and ensuing clashes in the Nusaybin district of the southeastern province of Mardin. 

Seven militants from the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) have been killed in military operations in the southeastern town of Derik, a district in the southeastern province of Mardin, while one soldier was killed and another was injured.

Four Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) deputies have started a hunger strike to protest the days-long curfew in the southeastern town of Nusaybin, with the military operation still ongoing in the district.

A curfew has been declared in the Nusaybin district of the southeastern province of Mardin until further notice, the governor's office has stated.

The Mardin Governor's Office announced that a curfew has been declared in the entire district so that security forces can fill in ditches and remove barricades erected by the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) militants.

Five security forces were injured after Syrian migrants in a tent city in Turkey's southeastern province of Mardin reportedly attacked guards over allegedly being poisoned from the lunch at the camp. Some 17 Syrian migrants were detained after the incident. 

Seven soldiers were wounded Dec. 22 when a land mine planted on the road was detonated as a military vehicle was passing in the southeastern province of Mardin.
